> You can ask them to reverse numbers or re-arrange words and they'll faceplant in the same way as soon as the input gets beyond a small threshold. Here surely there wouldn't be an issue with tokenization.

My guess is the training data contains many short pairs of forward and backward sequences, but none after a certain threshold length (due to how quickly the number of possible sequences grows with length). This would imply there's no actual reversing going on, and the LLM is instead using the training data as a lookup table.

This should work fantastic in theory, since differing vocabulary (not grammar) is the main factor that determines the difficulty of a new language. Putting off this primary obstacle so one can ease into it sounds genius to me. It also agrees with the method hyped by Steve Kaufman, where one should read and speak level-appropriate material.
